Chapter 351: 263. Hidden Christmas Gift

After sending Zhou Sinin back to her dorm, it was already the next morning.

The previous day’s shopping and fun had drained them both of energy, and they ended up sleeping until they naturally woke up.

Unlike the relatively inconspicuous BMW Mini, the moment the Maserati entered the campus of Finance University, it sucked in the gaze of most bystanders.

"Why are so many people looking?"

"Shoot, driving this car, it’s impossible to keep a low profile in the future."

Zhou Sinin leisurely drove the car, her brown hair tied into a ponytail swishing behind her head, her bare face still tremblingly beautiful.

Not driving back was not an option.

They had bought a whole load of stuff while shopping, far too much for two people to carry.

"No worries, you’ll be moving out soon, right?"

Lu Jincheng lounged in the passenger seat, relaxed as he played with his phone.

"But... what if I get scared living alone?"

The sports car crawled through campus at a snail’s pace of 20-30 mph, Zhou Sinin pursing her lips, a glint of expectation hidden in her sidelong glances.

"If it really comes down to it, I might just sacrifice myself?"

Lu Jincheng knew what answer she wanted to hear and said with a smile,

"When that happens, I’ll hold you as you sleep; you won’t have nightmares."

"You can snore safely in my arms."

"Stop it! You’re the one who snores!"

Zhou Sinin’s pretty face turned red, she pouted and turned her head away.

A few seconds later, she began to mutter quietly, "Eh, did I really snore yesterday?"

"Just teasing you."

As they turned the corner into the parking lot, Lu Jincheng unbuckled his seatbelt, tapped the girl’s cute, upturned nose, and helped her carry all their spoils of shopping.

After a kiss filled with love, Zhou Sinin was safely escorted back to her dormitory.

The entire day’s date came to a close, and Mr. Lu was not idle either; he immediately turned around and headed towards the dormitory area.

This Christmas, he had received quite a few gifts and also given out several.

The gift for Zhong Ruixi was a complete set of La Mer Christmas skincare gift box.

Ever since she had started university, she had officially begun to dive deep into the study of beauty and skincare, so naturally, her skincare routine had to keep up.

Giving this gift might be a bit luxurious for a university student, but for him, it was just perfect.

The gift for Zhou Sinin goes without saying, a white Maserati which he bought taking advantage of a tax deduction opportunity.

The gifts for Mou Keyan and Yu Qingyue appeared to be the same Christmas beauty gift boxes as for the other members.

But Mr. Lu had placed two credit cards with different limits inside these two ladies’ boxes.

Beauty, after all, needs to be nurtured by wealth.

Lovers equally await surprises that are beyond their expectations.

Whether they spend it or not, that’s one thing, but whether you give it or not is another.

Lu Jincheng was well aware of this principle.

After taking stock, he was left with two more Christmas gifts in his hands.

So, he went back to his dorm to change into new clothes and after a meticulous bath and grooming, he hurried out without stopping for a break.

...

Management College’s comprehensive building.

Today was a workday, and Lu Jincheng, in the name of expressing gratitude for the college’s support, had visited a whole round of them, from the dean to department heads, not missing a single one.

Of course, he had already visited the university leaders; his own Management College was the last stop.

You must distinguish between those close and distant.

"Come in."

The door to the counselors’ office was knocked, and soon a familiar voice came from inside.

"What can I help you with?"

Lu Jincheng pushed the door open, and inside the big office, several teachers chatted leisurely, cracking seeds and gossiping.

Guo Minjie was seated at her workstation and spotted him immediately.

"The White Horse Cup has just ended, and our debate team’s success in achieving second place couldn’t have been done without Teacher Guo’s meticulous guidance. We all put together part of our prize money to buy you a gift."

Lu Jincheng had prepared two sets of comments to use.

One set for public, another for private.

With a smile, he took a gift box out of his shoulder bag and placed it on Guo Minjie’s desk.

"No, no, you kids... why be so formal?"

Guo Minjie instinctively tried to refuse, feeling awkward about accepting gifts from students in front of her colleagues.

"It’s just some inexpensive hand cream, and winter is coming. Please, Teacher Guo, accept it as a token of everyone’s appreciation."

Lu Jincheng spoke with polite grace but secretly gestured to Guo Minjie to contact him by phone.

Without any hesitation, he smiled, greeted the other teachers, and politely left the office.

"Look at Xiao Guo, bringing up students who really know how to show their gratitude..."

"Yeah, so considerate. Winter does make the skin quite dry, how thoughtful."

The gossip in the office continued.

...

As soon as five thirty hit, Guo Minjie immediately picked up her bag, left her unfinished work, and headed out of the office.

"You’re really something, coming to the office to bring me a gift?"

In a private room at a Chinese restaurant, the counselor and student sat facing each other.

"Do you realize how dangerous rumors can be?"

"It’s a good thing the gift really was hand cream; nobody can complain about that. If it were something else..."

Guo Minjie stared at Lu Jincheng, who seemed unconcerned and sipped his tea, wanting to say something more but hesitating.

"Look at you, all impatient."

Mr. Lu smiled and patted the back of her hand.

"I was just passing by and wanted to drop in. I couldn’t come empty-handed, could I?"

"Besides, hand cream isn’t the Christmas gift I wanted to give you."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

At the mention of the Christmas gift, Guo Minjie lifted her chin slightly, rolled up her sleeves, and brushed away the stray hairs near her neck.

"Christmas is already over."

"Not over yet! My gift was just given a bit early, and more secretly."

Lu Jincheng ignored the unusual tone in his older sister’s voice and took out his phone to find the university’s official website, scrolling down to the announcement section.

"What do you mean?"

Guo Minjie looked puzzled at the action he showed her, bent down, and looked at the screen.

It was a dry notice posted two days ago, hidden in the corner of Nanhu University’s official website where most people wouldn’t notice unless they went looking for it.

[Nanhu University Notice on Publicly Competing for the Post of Director of the Student Affairs Office]

She simply skimmed through it and then lifted her head again to ask.

"Why are you showing me this?"

"The position of Director of the Student Affairs Office at Management College is still vacant!"

Lu Jincheng pointed with a chopstick at the edge of a plate.

"Not... Are you suggesting I apply for the job?"

Guo Minjie’s eyes widened, her tone rising in disbelief.

"Do you know the average age of the directors at other colleges’ student affairs offices? I’ve only been working for a few years..."

"Let’s not talk about that. What did I just say?"

Lu Jincheng waved his hand, cutting off Guo Minjie’s astonished tone.

"You said the position of Director of the Student Affairs Office is still open."

"No, the sentence before that."

"You said your Christmas gift was given early and secretly..."

Guo Minjie’s voice grew softer as she spoke, her curled lashes and rimless glasses unable to hide the sparkle in her eyes.

She seemed to understand.
